A boy bought a shirt at a sale for Rs.140. He received 30% discount on the normal price. What is the original price of the shirt?
Explanation
Let's denote the original price as x.
Given:
Discount = 30%
Sale price = Rs. 140
Formula:
Sale price = Original price - Discount
Sale price = x - (30% of x)
140 = x - 0.3x
140 = 0.7x
x = 140 / 0.7
x = 200
